Nuetrality Theory

Ok, I know I just made a post yesterday, but I forgot to tell a story I was meaning to put in, plus I got another story today. So this is a complete story post, for your interest. All goes back to my Nuetrality Theory, that one day of absolute suckage must be balanced by an equal and opposite day of Awesome.

Daily Life 1:
Ok, so flashback to Wednesday the 22nd, I've finished my morning classes at MCC, and I go into the corner and pull out my juggling equipment as I usually do and hang out for a little while. I haven't eaten at all that day, I didn't have anything for breakfast, so after about a half-hour, I'm hungry as hell, so I run across the hall to the cafeteria to grab myself a cheese-steak. As fate would have it, I see Craig T. there, who I haven't seen in a while and he doesn't have any classes or anything. So we get to the cafeteria and they're out of cheese-steaks so i grab a meatball sub and less than 20 seconds after I sit down to eat it, the fire alarm goes off. I'm thinking, "I am not getting up. Until I'm on fire, I am going to sit here and eat, and Craig felt pretty much the same way about his fries, but the nice police man showed us out the door, subs in hand.

Now, I'm going into what actually happened with the fire alarm and what I did NOT see. So, apparently, as soon as I left the corner, a group of kids came in with a football and started playing a game there (yes, inside. The corner is pretty big). Apparently, there was a missed catch and the ball bounced into the fire alarm down in the hallway, setting it off. So then everyone left the corner, my stuff still laying there where I had put it. So, as the alarm had been physically pulled, it lasted about 20 minutes and the fire dept actually came to the building. Apparently, the staff realized that the football was the cause of the alarm, and thus they confiscated EVERY LOOSE OBJECT IN THE CORNER, INCLUDING MY EQUIPMENT (worth a grand total of about $170.00 worth. I later found out from the other people IN THE CORNER, that the staff really didn't like any kind of sports being played indoors, and they happened to include juggling in that group. Finally, some non-jugglers who think juggling can be a sport and they use it to my disadvantage. The thing is, they never directly, or even INDIRECTLY told ANY of the residents of the corner, including myself, that they didn't want us playing sports or anything else of the like, nor did we see that anywhere in any set of rules. They just decided to take my stuff and THEN have someone ELSE tell me afterwards. I hate authority.

So jump from there to me coming back in after the alarm, having finished my sub, expecting to head back into the corner and continue juggling where I left off, only to find my stuff was gone and a janitor was sweeping the corner floor. He tells me and a few others who's things were gone to head down to the police station on campus (the OPPOSITE CORNER of the campus) and reclaim the confiscated items. I was the lucky one of the three, I got my stuff back, but the other two's things weren't there. SO I got out of that, and NOW to try and drive physical activity and people in general from the corner, they've removed all of the furniture for the 3rd time. So everyone's going to bring in folding chairs and stuff for the next few days to send them a message.


Daily Life 2:
Ok, today (11/27) was awesome. First awesome thing to happen was the launch of this new blog. Speaks for itself. The next awesome thing to happen was that my business cards finally arrived! They look AWESOME. Here's a link to a pic at the bottom of the post. Third piece of random awesomeness was my 8 catch run of six balls I made during my 2 hour break between classes. Four was finally revamping the podcast page of MX, which I've been meaning to do for a while. Five was my last class letting out early. Six was the food today at the Hess Express where I stop for dinner, simply magnificent.



Seven was also at the Hess station where I was doing some quick ring practice next to my truck before running off, and some lady coming up to me with a request. So it was her daughter's fifth birthday, and they had to stop to get gas and a few other things in the store, and she asked me if I could juggle for her for a few minutes as a birthday present. Being the real nice guy that I am, I say "sure". So I just do a quick improvised 3 ring routine, and they liked it, she didn't need to tell them to clap or say thanks. So her husband came back out and so I gave them one of my new business cards, bidder her a happy birthday, and then they left, giving me probably one of the best feelings I've had in a long time. Pride and Joy. Haven't felt that in a long time. Felt good. It's moments like that that make the years I've spent on juggling just all the more worthwhile. I really hope they do contact me back, her son's birthday is coming up around New Years Eve, so that'd be great.

I'll end on that high note. Call me an emo, call me whatever you want, I feel good after a day ending like that...

A Day In The Life Of A Peanut Butter Cup ~ Reeses2150

 

Revert To The Future>?


Just another day in the life, Of a peanut butter cup...

Ok, so, since Myspace's blog is, well, not as good or well know as blogger, I have proceeded to make a new blog here on blogger. This was the site of my original blog, but I began misusing it, and then not posting, and then it just died. It's still viewable though, but I will never touch it again. R2150 Archive As for now, I will be posting my blog here and hopefully have it fed to my site as well, though I will probably still have to do it manually.

I'm going to try and give some structure to my blog from now on, at least an easier to recognize structure. It will still have a story section (Labeled "Daily Life"), then an update section ( "Listen Up!" ), followed by me juggling section ( "Juggle This" ), and then whatever else is going on I will just put at the end. I'm moving my blog days to Monday as well, so this is in fact, my first weekly post. I may even make more than one post a week if some great story happens or something. But whatever, I still have to get to the regular posting.

Listen Up!
Ok, so Radio blue has been all but cancelled. I just don't have the time for it, and Renegade can't be online at the same time as whenI'm available either. So, as a solution, she is now hosting her own podcast, "Rene's Rampage", and Radio Blue will be taken off of it's schedule and will have just me and a single guest. My buiseness cards are about to get delivered, they're scheduled to arrive via UPS, TODAY! If you haven't seen them, Here.

Daily Life:
Well, shopright has been a lot easier now that Black Friday has passed, and thank god it has. I don't even have a story from that day, I was only concentrating on one thing. Scan, Pay, "Have a good night!". Scan, Pay, "Have a good night!". I missed out on my chances at getting a Nintendo Wii, partially thanks to my parents saying they'd get it for Xmas, and then later saying they didn't say that. Whatever, I know I'll get one eventually. Otherwise, not much has been going on. I've been feeling artistic lately, so I've made myself some more graphics and stuff, including the image at the top of this post.

Juggle This:
Back to the 6 ball are we? Yes, I've been practicing my 6 yet again. But I have to say, it's amazing what a month and a half of NOT practicing can do for you. I was able to not only do it under my 8ft ceiling (couldn't before), but I was able to flash in multiple patterns (synch fountain, asynch fountain, half-shower, and I even flashed it in a multiplex pattern.), and then I somehow managed to get 8 catches of a half-shower. Awesome. Also, I've picked up my rings yet again, haven't done anything with them in a while, and I was feeling creative. So now I'm practicing doing a lot of different 3 ring tricks, and ones I haven't done for a while, so it's good. Otherwise, I'm starting to get down that 5 ball cascade to flashing 3 in a rev-cascade back into the cascade. I can ALMOST do it on command now. I'm also thinking about re-applying to Six Flags for a job next summer. I think they would hire me this time around, as now I can do club passing, a lot more club tricks, and can do my 5 ball long runs on command (I had trouble qualifying last time around).
